Found a nice 1888 Morgan silver dollar today!

Trackerman · Jan 9, 2010

Hello everyone today i decided to take the Dfx out and do some park hunting at a local park. At first i hit the grass area and found a few dimes and nickels the i decided to hit one of the tot lots in the park wich is fairly large in size. There i found some more nickels and some misc charms but nothing fancy. Then as i was leaving i decided to hit a smaller tot lot on the other side of the park and was swinging the old dfx when i looked down near a slide and boom there laying right in front of the slide at the botom half exposed an 1888 Morgan silver dollar in nice condition. When i saw it i couldnt believe it. Ive never found a coin that nice and to top it off i didnt even find it with my detector it was just laying there half exposed in the sand. Lol the irony of things. Guess you never know what your gona find and when.

Ya never know what you're going to run into with this hobby. Neat stuff often pops up when you least expect it, even when you don't have a detector in hand!

Nice score on the Morgan!

Awesome!

Make a fist, and tuck your thumb in under your index finger.

Turn your arm so your thumb is up.

Balance the dollar on your thumb and index finger.

"Flip" the dollar with your thumb.

Nothing sounds like a Cartwheel flipping through the air! :icon_thumleft:
